HURRY!
Fun tendrils
Oh Donna B - I feel the same way. My husband has offered to drop me off somewhere too. I can't seem to help it. Ever since we got into an accident about a year and a half ago, I'm very nervous with him driving. I wish we could just beam ourselves to where we want to go. I hope I'll get over it. Where else could I find a husband that likes me enough to build me a greenhouse, helps me haul pots around, and merely grimaces when I tell him to slow down.
gosh hope I get over it too. I don't leave the house unless I have to then I try to make appoints all a few hours a part and hit the grocery while I am at it so i don't have to go out again lol. Tomorrow I have PT at 11:30 then at 1:00 I see the Dr. I will have time to grab a burger before seeing the Dr. since it is only a block away. Then If it is not to late that I end up stuck in Ingalls Shipyard traffic I will hit the grocery which I really need to do since I haven't been major grocery shopping in 3 weeks ROFL!!!!!!!!!
Kell and all you shopping girls. Wow, you all sound like you've had a fabulous time. Oh what fun it sounds. I wanna move to CA to go nursery hopping with you all.! LOL
Donna, I feel for you so much. I'm 47 and in 1981 I was in a bad car accident. And all these years later I'm still just like you are today. My poor DH, I know he'd like to gag me when he is driving. I don't know if that feeling will ever go away. It's been many years now and I'm still the same. But I will say that I do much better when I'm under the wheel..... and that's only happened in the last 5 years or so. Good Luck......it sure isn't any fun at all.
Brinda I am 45 . I had major back surgery 14 months ago and still have a lot of pain plus rods, screws, and bone grafts. I am terrified of being in a car accident
Gosh Brinda, I didn't know that. I am so glad you are still with us here. You add so much to Dave's and personally so much to me. You would fit right in going nursery hopping with us.........you should see the coleus we have here!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Oh Donna, you have been thru so much. I am so sorry you are still having such a bad time but look at all you do that is so positive for this world with your wild life sanctuary you are trying to get established. I wish I could help you some way!!!
come visit in November!!!!!!! and I'll put you to work. At least the weather is bearable then lol usually
LOL Donna, I just may! Susie wants to go too.
keep your fingers crossed!!! DD and friend are supposed to come do some planting for me today. I really need to get the rest of the named brugs out of the 1 gal pots and into the ground. They dry out totally everyday. Also hoping to get some weeding and mulching out of them lol, maybe even get a bed cleaned and a few gingers planted. Think I am asking to much lol
Donna,
I understand that fear but it does pass. I had major back surgery with the ray cages in 2000 a 2 level and one failed. My surgeon did not put in the rods and screws to make it stable as the ray cages were the new replace all. That fear is devastating. I was afraid I would fall It is almost if not a fear I can't discribe. An Earth Shaking Fear. I have never felt so overpowered by anything in my life like that is.
But it does pass. I can't remember how long it took but it did pass.
Then last year it came out in the houston paper my dr was fired from workers comp and he was the second highest pd dr in TX. He did too many unnecessary surgeries and multi level fusions.
Hey Brinda
How is your mom? When you doing another co-op?? ROTFLOL
Hi kell I want to move to california too. can I go shopping with you all??
Just a little misfit. :o) LOL

If all of us that are wanting to go shopping with Kell and friends went to California, I fear that all of our "in sinc" steps would cause such an earth shaking experience that California may just fall into the ocean. We wouldn't want that now would we....... hummmm.... We would all go down happy :) wouldn't we?
Kell, Sue and Lali, what fun you have together. Major envy here, but also so glad that we have such friends. My friend and I started the "basket club" because we are such basket cases. Anyone can join, slip in and out of the club as life goes on. We share our "baskets" support each other in happiness and grief and fill our hearts with the blessings that life brings. So glad that I can share my life with you (on this little screen).
Marie
What a great idea to have a basket club. I would qualify to join for I am a huge basket case. Sad but true. LOL! I have a group of friends that we too share what life brings us with via email. It is a great source of fun, support and even love.
We do have so much fun plant shopping, though we encourage each other way too much to buy more plants. We laugh the entire time. 2 other members come with us too at times, Patricia and also Zuzu of rose fame. Oh and even Dr. Don when he came North. Oh what fun we had for several days in a row showing him all the best spots. We all met thru Dave's and have so much in common. Not many outside people understand our great need for plants and the joy they bring to us. Often not even our spouses.
Donna I hope you got lots done last week! Sandy, you are so cheerful for such tough things to have happened to you. Too bad you do not live here, you would have a blast with all of us.
Kell, I'll have to drop you a dmail the next time i go back to Sebastopol to visit friends. I loved living there, but alas, am not a millionaire and had to leave. LOL
I have friends and family all over the North Bay, but none of them can manage more than one (maybe two) nurseries with me before they give up. If i hit more than a couple of nurseries i might have to come over in the pickup though... Hmmmm.
Did you ever make it over to Passinissi's? Did you find the ProMix elsewhere? Last time i went to Lowe's, i noticed they have started carrying it.
Kell with friends like you it is hard not to be cheerful. I would love to live there. My DH is having surgery monday. They are going in to clean out what is in his back. They don't know it blood clot BIG liquid or infection. There is dead tissue and maybe all of the above too.We have no family here except our DS and DDIL. But DS is so wound up in himself and how this effects him, he is no support. And DDIL of course is a doll but he demands her attention. You would think he was the one on the operating table.
It will be so hard to sit there and wait.
I would have a blast there. my DH just shakes his head at me. The other day we were headed to the doctor and out of the blue I started singing with a weird voice. He looked over at me and said what are you doing?? I said I was getting a charge out myself. He use to tell me that years ago and it hurt my feelings as he was being rude. I started singing again and he got this funny smurk on his face. I don't know why I started singing I just did. It was funny.
Wish DGers could be here to hold my hand. How about it Kell?? Pretty Please with a new begonia on top??
Thanks for the compliment, now throw brugs. hehehehehehehehe ROTFLOL
Love to you all,
Sandy ^8^
{{{SANDY}}} You are in my thoughts on Monday, may the operation be a success and may he be on the mend and up and about in no time.
And may you keep on singing :-)
Wow... this thread was awesome... Take a trip and never leave the barn!!! LOL What an adventure. I have to go back to work now, but had to thank you all for the fun trip.
I kinda feel like we are all with you here Sandy, I know my heart is. I hope you can draw from the strength and support here like I do in my times of need.
Kell, I'd make the drive in a minute for a cutting of those darling dippity dew tendrills! That bloom is just toooooo dang cute!
Sandy, My prayers are with you and yours, Best of everything that can be given to you.
Marie
Thank you all so much. I am speechless from all the love. I will come back later today if I can but had to stop in and say thank you. Your words mean so much.
Blessings and Love
Sandy ^8^
Sandy I will be praying for all of you as you all go through this time of fear and pain. God is with you and your family as each tries to deal with the stress of the operation. We all love and care. Peace Joan
I have been thinking of you and your husband all day, Sandy. Is the surgery over? I hope it went well and they finally found out what to do for him to cure him once and for all.
Sandy
I pray that everything went well today for your husband and the family.
Joan
They did surgery yesterday and cleaned out dead muscle, liquid which I believe is necrosis. The dr had to go clear to the spine. it is a deep whole but the incision is only about 21/2-3 inches. He is in quite a bit of pain. The dr said he sent it all for tons of testing.
We are home and he is in bed and I am fixing to go.He will stay on IV antibiotics till whenever??His countenance looks better. Dr said all went well.
I pray now they can find out what it is so we can keep it gone.
Thanks so much.
It has been hard. Would have been worse without my DG family.
Abundant blessings,
Sandy ^8^
Thoughts and prayers are being sent your way, Sandy. Hope they find out what it is.
